obama still has the edge. if you look at what's happening in the battleground states, there is a 3% roughly increase in the minority vote since the 2008 election. if you look at the last 50 polls, about 38 to 40 of them in the battleground states show that obama is ahead. he is doing better on the enthusiasm question. still as you look at the electoral map today, there is a much easier path to victory that obama has than romney. >> but karen, the president is facing some tough head winds. "the new york times" poll, his disapproval on the economy up by seven points. is that just a matter of timing and how much can the president do about that number? >> a couple of things. one, i'm not too concerned about those numbers because it's july and i actually agree with julian. i think most of these polls tend to oversample white voters and don't fully reflect the diversity in a number of states. when you look at what these pathways to 270 are and the latino vote, they should have oversampled a little bit more. but that
